Written with the everyday citizen in mind, this text minimizes the use of cases in favor of surveying the Constitution’s text directly and supplementing the discussion with charts, graphs, and shared understandings of how Florida’s government works in practice. Questions and analytical problems are included to challenge the student’s understanding of how the Constitution applies in a variety of popular legal issues. This approach is a practical alternative or companion to the casebook method, making the governmental process more accessible to the user. Text adopters can readily introduce statutory interpretation techniques, essay writing in constitutional law or simply supplement the material with case law so that students can identify the arguments made by counsel for associations, city and county attorneys, as well as the AGs office; this will assist students in analyzing how the courts scrutinize those arguments against various policies of the state.
